Three pickleball regulars came out on the warmest day so far this year for some hot doubles action. With only 3 PAX the group had to partner up with others on multiple courts. Oyster seems to know just about everyone there. Upon arrival YHC was hoping to sneak on the court with the 4 20-something ladies finishing up but Lab Rat and Oyster insisted we warm up on another court first. Lab Rat starts us off 1 vs 2 and we all 3 rotate and the single wins somehow. All 3 stayed and moved across courts up until storms came…

29 of the best Pickleball players in RVA gathered for the 1st F3 RVA Pickleball Tournament. If memory serves correctly: Hitchhiker, EF Hutton, Bleeder, Flatline and YHC (who else am i missing?) bounced the idea around after the last convergence. Hitchhiker took the lead and turned Batteau in the ultimate Pickleball Training facility for the next several weeks. A tournament was scheduled and the training began. Look at us now!! Thanks to Hitchhiker, Splinter and especially Tidwell for making the day go smoothly. Well done! On an unforgettable August 26, 2023, the pickleball courts transformed into a bustling arena of…
7 hommes were hoping for an early sunrise or at least a full moon. We got a very dark court instead. A longer warmup was needed anyway. Warmarama: 30 minutes of I can’t see the ball. Or the light from the lamp post was in my eye. La Chose: Almost 6am, do or die it’s go time. 1 Court of Doubles the other had 3. Bodo’s almost made it without sliding across the court. Official Pickleball rules were followed today. Upchuck took notes. Great to see Lab Rat today. He has played a game or two. Veep can put a…
Doubles anyone? 4 men of F3, blinded by the street lamps but ready for some dinks and bangers. Warmarama: Volley back and forth until light enough to play. The Thang: Non-F3 rules, play to 11, win by 2.Not sure about this bad return rule though…. Can you ace in Pickleball? No faults in Pickleball? NMS: Great having Nancy Lopez out this morning. Nancy picked up the game fast and had some great returns and volleys. Fudd was so excited about Pickleball he couldn’t sleep. The Bleeder streak continues. Step counter:Nancy Lopez: 3000Fudd: 3000Oyster: 3000Bleeder 5 2 more practice Monday’s left…
6 pickleball champions ready to get in some bangers and dinks. Welcome Tobit and Snuff. Tobit has a few years of tennis under his belt and picked up the game really quick, Rules… what rules. Snuff said he played once many years ago. We’re not buying it; he’s played a game or 2 recently. BoBerry with 2 brand new shiny paddles. Bleeder still owns the courts. Bodo’s left it all on the court, blood sweat and possibly a few tears. Pickleball Monday’s – Only 3 more Monday’s until the Tournament. Let’s Go!!!! Oyster
